I am requested to ask for such information as may exist - at the Pension Office relating to James Emery who served in the Revolution .
He was a resident of Buxton York County, Maine, but, in old age removed to Hollis where he died and was buried. There were two James Emerys from Maine in that war.
This is wanted by Great Grand-daughters who wish to join the "Daughters of the Revolution."
